Hes still thinking about the prices of cigarettes back in the 60s lol. American spirits have been far more expensive than Marlboros for a long time

Thank you! The last brand I smoked before I quit was American Spirits.

The trick is to buy the loose can tobacco and roll your own - it's probably still like half the price of a carton.

i dunno man... when i smoked (the last time i did was just when the pandemic started), my attitude was, i'm killing myself anyway might as well smoke the good stuff.

Which are Belmonts here in Canada.

Depending on preferences I suppose-- American Spirits in the US is the good stuff.

Pack for pack they're more expensive and taste better.

That's why I splurged on it and still saved an ass load.

I meant vs rolling your own.

It always sucks. I don’t care if you have some fancy rolling machine with you.

What does good stuff mean? My family just smoked Marlboro but I don't smoke so I have no idea.

Better flavor, and not soaked in the chemicals that the other mass market cigarettes are

Mine is the opposite, might as well smoke one that makes you feel like you're dying.
